Has anyone experienced, as a symptom of anxiety, chronic fatigue on one side of the body (arm and leg). Tried to exercise this morning and my leg and arm felt like it was about to give way.

    Hi Robert, sorry you feel this way. I too experience this, however it is more noticeable when I am lying down. I feel as though my left arm and leg are very weak compared to my right side. I do not know why this happens but my doctor has told me it is most likely due to anxiety. I hope this helps put your mind at ease a bit, please let me know if you find any ways to help this

      I agree with the lying down statement also. Seeing a third doctor in a couple of weeks and see what they say. Shall keep you posted!
